The Transplant Research Center (CRT) was set up in 2002 to support and promote
the work of outstanding research scientists throughout the world and to carry out major organ
transplant research programs.
The Center is housed in the Villa Camozzi, at Ranica, under the same roof as the Mario Negri
Institute in Bergamo and is managed in collaboration with the Institute.
The Center’s staff is mainly made up of senior and junior researchers that were trained in
the laboratories of the Mario Negri Institute in Bergamo, focusing on transplant immunology,
research for less toxic immunosuppressant drugs, and new gene therapy techniques to prevent acute
rejection of transplanted organs.
